From where? Takeoff runway is 31L, reportedly from intersection KE, therefore 04L isn't a factor, and it puts rotation around intersection PA. No one is going to be at takeoff power over there and not on a runway. Idle power wouldn't do this.
If there's an uncommanded roll before V1, I'd expect aborted takeoff. So it's more plausible this happened after V1, and before Vr, which means the instigator was present for some distance.

His jetblast, coming from a 90 degree angle to flight 300 on takeoff, is being considered a factor in the roll of the Airbus as it lifted off causing the displacement from the runway and the wingtip drag. > Powerful taxi thrust could most certainly be an factor. Many years ago I witnessed a DC-10 literally blow a small aircraft up and onto its nose, then onto its back during landing with the thrust of those DC-10 engines powered up while exiting the runway and turning 180 degrees.
